Module 1 of 14
Choose a Safe Place for Your Project
What you'll learn
- What a project is.
- How to approve a safe location for your app work.
Step-by-step instructions
- Keep using the Codex task from Module 0. Do not start a new one unless Codex tells you to.
- Type this message and press Return:
Please suggest a safe location on this computer for my my-task-list project. Explain in plain English why you chose that location and whether you need my permission to use it. Do not create anything yet.
How to check it worked: Codex suggests one location, explains why, and says whether it needs permission.
- When the location makes sense, type:
That location is fine. Please create the my-task-list project there. If you need a permission prompt, explain what it is for before I approve it. Tell me when the project is ready, but do not create the website yet.
If something doesn't work
If Codex suggests a location you do not understand, type:
Please explain that location in simpler words. I want to know where my project will be before I approve it.
What just happened?
You approved a project location before Codex created anything. A project is the collection of files for one app. Keeping those files together makes future changes easier and reduces the chance of changing the wrong thing.
You also practised approving a plan before work begins. This is a useful habit whenever a request might be bigger than one small change.
Module checklist
- The
my-task-listproject exists in a location you approved. - You understand that it holds the files for one app.
Next module: You will check what setup is needed, then create and open your first web page.
